When a child moves away to college, whether it is 20 or 1,000 miles away from home, the transition can be stressful on both the parents and the new student. As if the trauma from going from home cooking cuisine to dining hall “fast food” isn’t bad enough, homesickness can start to kick in after a few weeks.

Most parents look for a way to make a connection with their child between weekend visits and holidays aside from the ordinary phone call. Sending a care package is the perfect way to let your NC State, Meredith, or William Peace student know you are thinking about them. It is also great for those without cars on campus who could use “some of the good stuff” the student store just doesn’t carry.

Too far from your child’s college to deliver a care package yourself or just want to make them feel special?
